[ strolling down streets as she talks, occasionally glancing around in interest, bright and cheerful. it's a sunny day, everything looks bright. ]
Not that I'm not flattered, and I mean, the job is great and all that. It's nice to know I have a way to support myself. But I think they got the wrong Gothamite. I can do computers, but I'm not really the hero type.
I'd say about how I was in the middle of stuff but that doesn't seem to be an actual concern to them.
Which is actually a little unsettling in people who want me to hero it up for them. And I've got to say, handing out powers to people you don't really know all that well yet and who just got sort of kidnapped? Not actually seeming like a bright idea from over here.
It's probably a long shot, but anyone know Terry McGinnis? [ just in case! you never know. ] Or know anything more than they've told us? It'd be nice to get more of the lay of the land.

[ And he pauses, tempted to let that slide. ] People with money are good at a lot of things, but they're going to manipulate other people to do what they want. Politics is a huge paycut.
And if someone's being bought? Well, they can be convinced to do the right thing, too. They have a conscience, they just forgot about it.

[ but no it's okay she think she'd rather let this get side tracked this guy apparently thought well of her before can't she just maintain that, right ]
I hadn't thought of that side of it. Though I don't know, a lot of times it seems once someone's in the position they're willing to be bought out it's really hard to go the other way.

Nobody really does something like that just because they can -- well, most people don't. They aren't villains cackling over their bottle of scotch while they talk about how evil they are to their constituents.
Small things, little dips in morality occur because they can get away with it. We just have to make sure they can't.
Voice
Because you can't. Always. Make sure that they won't get away with it.
Voice
You can't trust someone before or after, honestly. The only difference with after is that you know what to watch for.
